Representative Lauren Boebert defended taking and leaking a photo of Hillary Clinton during a closed-door deposition regarding Jeffrey Epstein, sparking a dispute with the House Oversight Committee.
Left-leaning outlets like The New Republic and Salon frame the incident as a self-inflicted wound for the GOP, arguing Boebert’s rule-breaking derailed their own investigation. Conversely, Blaze Media focuses on the "meltdown" the leak triggered during the deposition, while Newsweek highlights Boebert’s defiant defense of sharing the photo with an outside influencer.
